MEXC
CoinstoreIn short: the difference
How MEXC differs from Coinstore
What MEXC is: the place where new coins show up first. On the market since 2018, jurisdiction: Seychelles, its own MX token.
What Coinstore is: a venue that lists early and often. On the market since 2020, jurisdiction: Singapore.
What MEXC gives you
Against an early-listing venue, MEXC plays a different game: Coins arrive here before they reach the majors: fifteen hundred spot pairs and over a thousand perpetuals, among the broadest selections we cover. P2P, savings and staking, Kickstarter and copy trading are all present. The spot maker fee is zero and USDT leaves free over Plasma.
Where MEXC is strong
a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs.
What Coinstore gives you
Early listings are not the only argument; Coinstore answers with its own: An early-listing venue: a token often trades here before it reaches the big exchanges. 423 USDT pairs in our scanner, best quotes with sizes, and a coin reference that carries what the other new venues lack — contract addresses.
Where Coinstore is strong
contract addresses, withdrawal fees and chain status in one reference, order-book sizes in the snapshot, early listings.
What decides it
Fees, withdrawals and limits: where the gap shows
- Jurisdiction. MEXC sits in Seychelles, Coinstore in Singapore. It shapes both the checks you pass and what the venue has to disclose.
- Native token. MX on MEXC cuts fees and opens launches; Coinstore has no such lever.
- Strengths side by side. MEXC: a zero maker fee, free withdrawals on Plasma, early listings, 1500 spot pairs; Coinstore: contract addresses, withdrawal fees and chain status in one reference, order-book sizes in the snapshot, early listings.
- Which job. MEXC is for anyone chasing new coins and working from a wide list, while Coinstore is as a source of early listings and the second side in spot routes.
- Worth remembering. MEXC: among thousands of pairs many are very thin: check the book before size. Coinstore: the reference is served one coin per request, so we collect it in batches, and the ticker symbol has no separator — the venue stays out of triangular arbitrage.

What people ask most
Questions about MEXC
MEXC: Is MEXC good for arbitrage? For same-venue arbitrage, yes, thanks to the zero maker fee. For cross-venue you must watch volume: on thin pairs a visible price gap is often unfillable.
MEXC: Is the spot fee really zero? Zero for the maker — an order that rests in the book and fills. Buying at market makes you a taker, paying the normal rate, though one of the lowest around.
MEXC: Does MX give a discount? Yes: the spot taker falls from 0.05% to 0.04%, and on contracts the maker from 0.01% to 0.008% and the taker from 0.04% to 0.032%. Where the fee is already zero it adds nothing. The "50% for 500 MX" promotion has been suspended since 9 February 2026.
Questions about Coinstore
Coinstore: Why is Coinstore missing from triangular arbitrage? Its symbols come glued with no separator, so the boundary between coin and quote currency cannot be parsed reliably. We would rather show no route than a wrong one.
Coinstore: How much does a USDT withdrawal from Coinstore cost? It depends on the chain: TRON costs 8 USDT, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum and Avalanche 2–3, BNB Chain 1 and Polygon 0.15. A fiftyfold gap, so the chain is chosen before the withdrawal.
Coinstore: How many pairs does Coinstore have? Our measurements see 423 USDT spot pairs. CoinMarketCap credits the exchange with 149 markets and roughly 96 million dollars of daily turnover.
Both at once
When it makes sense to keep accounts on both MEXC and Coinstore
Nothing stops you from opening an account on both: it is free, and a pair of venues almost always beats any single one on price. Both are kept for early listings: which venue gets the ticker you need is not known in advance, and signing up costs nothing.
